If your partner has this trait, he's less likely to make you orgasm

We've got some bad news for all of you out there with a sexist boyfriend. Not only do you have a sexist boyfriend, but you're also less likely to have an orgasm during sex.

The journal Archives Of Sexual Behaviour haspublished a study showing that women who regard their partners as sexist and selfish were less likely to orgasm during sex.

And the worst offenders are guys who suffer from hostile sexism and benevolent sexism. Hostile is an "overt disdain for women," but benevolent sexism is more complicated.

"Benevolent sexism assumes female passivity and romanticises the belief that women should be reliant on men," says one of the study's authors. " In this way, benevolent sexism is argued to be a form of legitimising myth, whereby prejudicial attitudes toward women are justified through the guise of care and protection."

The study, erm, studied two groups of women (one group had 339, the other had 323). The researchers measured the sexism present in the relationship, then looked at the woman's level of "perceived male sexual selfishness."

Afterwards, women were given the chance to talk about how often they orgasm, whether their male partners were preoccupied with their own pleasure, and how concerned the male partner was with themselves finishing.

The results proved that there was a very obvious connection between benevolent sexism from the man and fewer orgasms for the women.

"Women's benevolent sexism significantly predicted perceived male sexual selfishness, such that the more women endorsed benevolent sexism, the more likely they were to perceive men as sexually selfish," Emily Harris, a researcher at Queensland's School of Psychology. Fusion succinctly explains, "when women buy into their partners' sexist beliefs, they pay a price in the bedroom."
